MTSU left-hander named summer league's top pitcher

MTSU's Zac Curtis was the Texas Collegiate League Left-Handed Pitcher of the Year.

Middle Tennessee State's Zac Curtis earned first-team Texas Collegiate League honors and was named the Left-Handed Pitcher of the Year by the league earlier this month.

The left-hander started six games in the summer league, compiling a 5-1 record during that stretch for the Brazos Valley Bombers. Curtis finished with a 1.61 ERA, allowing just seven earned runs on 17 hits in 39 innings. The Hendersonville native struck out 40 batters while walking 23.

Because of pitching limits, Curtis left the Bombers before the conclusion of the season. Brazos Valley went on to clinch its first league championship with a 7-5 win over the Victoria Generals.

"This is a great summer for Zac in a very competitive league," MTSU coach Jim McGuire said. "I am looking for big things from him this upcoming season."

Curtis, who transferred to MTSU from Vol State, completed his first season as a Blue Raider with a 5-4 record and a 4.93 ERA in 14 starts. The left-hander struck out 75 batters, allowing 31 walks and 44 earned runs in 80.1 innings pitched.
